I think so, yes. Here's what I'm planning on doing (I say planning because, although I've done this before, I'm really bad at staying steady on my schedule):

Monday: Exercise
Tuesday: Yoga
Wednesday: Exercise
Thursday: Yoga
Friday: Exercise
Saturday: Exercise
Sunday: REST

Yours is the most original schedule I've seen here !

I'm with Jennifer. I think it's best to do strength training and cardio classes every other day and do yoga or pilates and be active the other days. I'm talking about taking a walk or hike, riding a bike, playing tennis or volleyball with a friend, things that let you appreciate the gains you're making in the gym.

I'm not even considering a gym.

Regular, intense basketball is enough for me; with frisbee (intense, too) thrown in now and then...

I have heard when you weight train. The muscle you have exercised needs rest next day. But about cardio or walking or biking or any other excersice which you do like yoga or core excercises can be done everyday.

Yes, I believe that...

I like to alternate days of strength training and cardio by itself so that I don't overly strain my muscles.  If there seems to be too much strain I take a day or so off.

I like to run.  Generally, I'll do a hard run one day and an easy run the next day, and take one or two days rest per week.  Sometimes I'll ride a bike or walk instead of running.

I always have good intentions about weight training, but they seem to slip :-(  When they don't, though, I'll either do alternate days or do upper body one day and lower body the next.  I believe you should take about 48 hour between weight workouts for any individual set of musclex.

 

 

Sounds good...

I am new to the site and am attempting to get the exercise ball rolling.  I have not worked out for months and am not really ready to go to a gym.  Is there a program or schedule that you would suggest that would get me going.  Right now I want to exercise for 20 minutes at least 3 days a week. I am struggling though on what to do during my exercise time... Any suggestions?

 

I'm really not qualified to answer...

Sorry. 

 I'm new to this site but not to exercise and have found if it's been a while since you've exercised its usually best to find something you enjoy doing or you can burn out really easy . Also dont try to over do it and set realistic goals

 

 

Good, sound advice! thanks!!

I like the Couch to 5k program as it takes you from wherever you are, even if that's doing nothing at all, to a 5k or 30 minutes of jogging 3 days a week. Then you can ramp up from there. Requires 0 equipment except a good pair of shoes!
